Leave your thoughts about Starman.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanStarman truly is one of the best genre films of the 1980s, as well as one of Carpenter's best efforts. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[A] surprisingly tender, funny movie from John Carpenter, a man otherwise known for his intense horror/genre flicks. It may be the best sci-fi/romance hybrid ever made. |
| Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeGive ample credit to director John Carpenter also for his fluid storytelling. |
| Mania.comRob VauxWe see a sweet side to the director that never appeared anywhere else: an emotional palate that he rarely indulged in, but which he handles with surprising grace and subtlety. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairCarpenter is a master of framing for widescreen, and Starman is certainly a forum for him to show off his prowess behind the lens. |
| Common Sense MediaRandy WhiteJeff Bridges as appealing alien; best for teens. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertStarman contains the potential to be a very silly movie, but the two actors have so much sympathy for their characters that the movie, advertised as space fiction, turns into one of 1984's more touching love stories. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThere is little that is original in Starman, but at least it has chosen good models. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinStarman provides him with a role that, played by anyone else, might seem preposterous. In Mr. Bridges' hands it becomes the occasion for a sweetly affecting characterization - a fine showcase for the actor's blend of grace, precision and seemingly offhanded charm. |
| Film FrenzyMatt BrunsonOffers little that's fresh but skates by on the strength of the lovely turns by Allen and especially Bridges. |
